the Association of Georgia KLans, of which he also is a member, but had not
learned of any information pertinent to the MOORE case or any other terrorist
activity.
The informant stated there is considerable concern among
the KLan members since the announcement appeared in the newspapers concerning
the Federal Grand Jury at Miami which was going- to be convened and which would
hear the HARRY T. MOORE case. He said that most Klan members who have been
interviewed by FBI Agents are anticipating being called to testify before the
Grand Jury.
'at _
The informant reiterated the thinking of the ICLansmen in
that they intend to answer all questions truthfully before the Federal Grand
Jury for fear they might be indicted for perjury. He said the KLansmen felt
secure in that no persons will be indicted because of the lack of federal
, jurisdiction.
The informant stated that
in the area at the present time, that being a

there was only one KLan meeting

I I stated he did not have any other information in this regard,
other than the oral statements made by MOORE. He also a dvised MOOR E was
highly regarded among the colored folk in the area and to | [knowledge,
MOORE had never received any threats against his life. He said that the
bombing of the MOORE residence came as a complete surprise to him inasmuch
as he did not believe that anyone would have directed such violation against
MOORE inasmuch as MOORE was a man°of excellent character.

He said he recalled having picked up a colored woman as a fare
at the Florida East Coast Railroad Station' in Titusville a few days before
Christmas Day, 1951 and taking her to Mims, Florida. He said he did not

regarding activity of KLan members of the Orlando KLavern of the Association
of Georgia IUens. The informant stated he is furnishing this information
on a strictly confidential basis and under no circumstances wQuld he be
•willing to testify to any of this information before any Grand Jury inasmuch
as he is confident in his own mind that he and his family would both suffer
detriment at the hands of the KLan members who are involved in the related
incident s .
He also expressed fear of losing his present employment because
of known KLan affiliation but stated his greatest fear is that of bodily
harm to himself and family. He pointed out that he has been closely
associated with members of the KLavern and is confident that his evaluation
of these individuals as being persons who would, without hesitation, do
great harm to both himself and his family.

a nu mber of the KLan members to | I
I discuss KLan matters. He said that a short time following the MOORE
bombing one who has been active in the Orlando KLavern
